Protect your nonprofit from some of the risks of litigation.
What is nonprofit directors & officers liability insurance?
Nonprofit directors & officers (D&O) liability insurance could protect your organization from covered claims for legal defense costs, settlements, and judgments incurred by your organization because of the actions of its officers. Lawsuits – frivolous or not – can be incredibly costly and often jeopardize members’ personal assets. Nonprofit directors & officers insurance could help ensure that these potentially high costs don’t keep your organization from doing the good works it was created for.
